Hi Jon,

(Great YouTube channel!)

I have CS4 so no Mercury Playback Engine. I did try the numerous setting combinations available in the NVIDIA driver software. I found one combination of software/hardware that seemed to make a small difference. I did find this though: https://forums.adobe.com/message/2960719

It appears the GTX470 may not work well with CS4 though. At least the posts died off with our any resolution.

I’m going to get a new graphics card and hope that makes the difference.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the time in reading a replying. I have tried rendering out in all of the formats/wrappers/codecs mentioned above. Some for YouTube, some for broadcast (see below) and some for Cincopia. Except for a project in which I used After Effects to create a sequence of video of different sizes and sources, all of mine are 1280×720 with video cap from my JVC HD110. I usually shoot progressive and render progressive. My goal is to get something superb with the following specs required by the cable company these spots will air on:

THIS:
H.264
45 Mbps – (CBR)
1080i – 29.97
720P – 59.94
Default
16:9
1920×1080 (1080i) or
1280x720P (720p)
4:2:2
1080i (Upper/Top Field First)
720P (progressive)

OR THIS:
MPEG-2 Transport Stream
45 Mbps – (CBR)
1080i – 29.97
720P – 59.94
Long GOP (IBBP)
16:9
1920×1080 (1080i) or
1280x720P (720p)
4:2:2(HP@HL)
1080i (Upper/Top Field First)
720P (progressive)

It was during these variations I discovered the problem. I run dual monitors and also have a 720p TV i look at these from PC playback. I’ve also tried these players: Windows Media, Real and DIVX. (Chrome for the FLV>)

I did fail to mention that FLV renders fine.

This is all too weird and frustrating… 🙂

Could it be hardware?

Thanks again!
